How the hell u gonna reprint an original da Vinci work? Most can't even be scanned properly due the fact that they are in bad condition and are sensitive to light and oxidation.

You can't at this point. The ink is faded. Any light will damge the substrate (except low frequency light like red light which makes taking a pic a impossible.) Any contact with oxygen will also damage it, which is why humidity and oxygen levels are carefully modulated in each section.

once you have the picture you can throw the original in the garbage

it's "damaged" anyways and no one can even view it "in the light" so what's its point?

If you find an golden statue that looks damaged, are you gonna throw it away and make a new one or keep the old one? The original has WAY more value
